so other the just lookin at crankcase hands which mine is cut to how can u tell if his fingers are not cut is there like a code or something on the package

also on mine he has to right side pinchers

You have to check the product codes stamped next to the Paramount logo. Check the News Archives or a few pages back for the exact codes.

ah thx i was lookin all over the package for it an i found it its just a indentation its not a printed thing

To top it off, it seems any code lower than 10191 has a 100% intact rate, so those should be safe.

So I went to my Wal-Mart tonight to get the last 03651 figure they had. I got it, and was on my way to look for something else, and stumbled across a HUGE DOTM endcap, separate from the regular spot.

So of course I start pawing through them, looking for Crankcase. The first one was 10601, but then I found SIX MORE with the 03651 code. I bought 3, and left 3. I got home and opened one and, as expected, he did have intact fingers!

Here's a picture for a little proof.



If a Seibertronian wants me to hook them up, I will!

FYI the TRU in Douglaston NY only had the 10601 Crankcases in stock, something tells me it's a NY thing.

WalMart in Bethel Park, PA, #10601, cut (though it's at least an even cut, and the same length on both fingers. Have to see if I can scare up some pics of an uncut figure, I might be able to fab new fingers with Mighty Putty.)

On the other hand, OMG new stock! I haven't seen that since Wave 1 RTS hit.

Oh yeah the code on my canadian one that was intact was 10131

This isn't for safety reasons ... this is because he looks like he's giving you the finger.

Yeah his back mandibles would more of a safety issue than his tiny little fingers.

Who gives a damn!? You have these little bad ass kids running around shooting people with guns and 9mms and they can't handle a middle finger? I am mad, I am angry as hell. Now I have to take my Crankcase back to the store and try to find one with intact fingers.

Keep in mind that 5 year olds and 6 year olds collect these too. Nevermind a selected few shooting other 1st graders in school (which the shootings mostly happen between 11-18), this leaves parents very concerned for their child going up to someone, putting their middle fingers up and saying "I'm Crankcase." They'll get smacked.

And don't take your anger out on us please.
